INCIDENT OF ABRAHAH IS A MIRACLE THAT THE QURAN REFERS TO A PROTECTION OF THE KAABAH, AND A PROTECTION OF THE PROPHET (SALALLAHU ALAYHI WA SALLAM)

Primary wisdom we can extract is:

Status of the Kabah in the eyes of the Arabs

Part of manhood is to defend what

you believe to be sacred.

Traitors and cowards are always

despised.

The blessed lineage of the Prophet.

The two who were ransomed

The protection of the Prophet

(SAAWS) even before birth

Amir Yunasthis is ~3000 yrsbefore nabi.tribe of jurhum comes - sees well, and asked permissionto settle there. Ismail grew up with tribe of jurhumand offspring from ismail and jurhum tribe. Jurhum - filled well with sand / jewels. to cover it fromthe attacking tribe.its said abdulmuttalib was of the hunafaa'

Amir Yunasmade oath, to keep zamzam. zabh abu talib and abdullah from same mother.abdullah not youngest. Abdullah was saved for 100 camels. Abdullahdied on way back from yathrib, fellsick and died. now part of sharia.blood money - 100 camelsNabi - son of the 2 who were ransomed.

Amir Yunasabraha - governor of yemen. close ties w/ syria. wrote letterto najashi - "my church so beautiful, no arabs will go to their house in the sand."arabs insulted by abraha and defacated on cathedral.20 elephants charging.in taif - abraha sent messengers to makkah. "no issue with arabs,issue is with the ka'ba. he captured 200 camels to feed to armyand these were.Tall,Muscular, Handsome man. Abraha impressed by his figure, andhe stood up on platform out of respect, and sits with abdul-mutalib*standing up for principles - earns respect. if you stand up forcause, even if you hate the cause, deserves admiration.he got camels back. went back and made dua to Allah, and went tonearby mountains and weaited for them to attack.

Amir YunasProphet married all daughters to Qurayshi family. 2 daughters married to abu lahab's sons. preislam.

- trick fiqh questions What is one act of worship, only you can do, and nobody on earth can do it. kissing black stone.

- deriving lessons from fiqh, relevance of today. -best book in English for seerah

seerah narrations are weak and accepted for reasons:1. tabie' narrates it. so let it go, it's a story2. stories by human nature are embellished and people like to hear details anyways.3. doesn't establish halal/aqeedah.

pious fabrication:man fabricated hadith - "I saw people reading ibn ishaaq and muwatta malik, and leaving quran, so I wanted people to go back to the Quran."

Qaraamitha Shia - attacked makkah, killed in haram, stole black stone. returned to bahrain, and 22years, black stone gone. Then stone was ransomed for large sum of money.1979 - Juhayman's attack on ka'ba. H - days of mehdi - he will refuge in ka'ba, and army will attack ka'ba. *Only muslims allowed to attack ka'ba.Ka'ba destroyed when no more muslims on earth. a descendent of Abraha.zhul suwayqataan - come and destroy ka'ba. after isa, and dajjal. this is when dogs and wolves roaming the ka'ba, and this is the last day before day of judgement.

Pre-Prophethood

Fostering:It was the custom of elite of Makkah to

send their children to be raised in the

desert:

To be raised in a pure and healthy

environment

Away from the plagues and diseases

of the city

To build their stamina and make

them adjusted to rough life

To avoid pampering

To make them fluent in the Arabic of

the desert.

NATOQUE PLACERAT SED SIT HENDRERIT, DAPIBUS VELIT MOLESTIAE LEO A, UT LOREM SIT ET LACUS ALIQUAM.

SHEPHERD:

NO PROPHET HAS EVER BEEN SENT EXCEPT THAT HE USED TO BE A SHEPHERD OF SHEEP

Men need to be shepherded as well

Dedication and maturity

Simplicity of lifestyle

Humbleness and humility

Evil war between Kinnah and awzin

Treaty to uphold rights of those who

had been wronged

The Prophet (SAAWS) did not regret

participating in this war

Social problems that transcend

Waraqah cried and said, "Oh how I wish I was a young man now, so that I could help your cause and support you when your nation will expel you?Never prophet came, except his people rejected him.

time period before 2nd for 2nd wahy - . "Oh you who is covered up." cuz he asked for khadija to cover him again. .. divine eloquence in 6-7 ayat. methodology of dawah outlined. ulama say, nabi at iqra, and became rasul with mudathir. 1st convert - khadijah.Progressives - Khadijah believed in him before The Prophet. so she became muslim before the prophet.2nd convert - Waraqah bin Nawfal - dawah wasn't presented to him, he understood what happenedand he believed immediately.3rd convert - Ali at 7 yrs old, living in house of Nabi and Khadijah.4th convert - 1st adult to convert at age 37 after waraqah. H - nabi - not a single person talked to bout islam except that he had to think about it except for Abu Bakr.Zaid ibn Haritha - "adopted son" of Nabi. freed slave by Nabi. chose to stay with the Prophet over his own father. Umm Ayman - slave of amina in household of nabi, and married to zaid ibn haritha. and they have Usama ibn zaid raised in nabi's household. Most early converts came through hands of Abu Bakr and Uthman. Zubair ibn Awwam - cousin of nabi.ibn mas'ud - yemeni slave. 6th convert to islam. converted after seeing milking of barran she-goat.Nabi gave dawah to those receptive to it. -- man from Yemen. I knew man on misguidance, I heard a man preaching something else. this is within 2-3 years of the da'wah. talked to him icebreaking. he asked, "what are you?" He said, " " - to fulfill ties of kinship, break idols, Allah be unified and no partners be associated with him." "Who is with you?" "Free man and a slave" - "abu bakr and bilal". not literally just to show a few people. "Can't do that now, but when message apparent, come in. He came to medinah 15 yrs. later and then became muslim.

No problems at all in 1st 3 years of dawah. no confrontations and causing problems with quraysh.majority of converts - low class and poor.1. wealth barrier to truth2. more arrogance.

Early converts: Khadijah, Waraqah, Ali

rithah, Sad b. Ab Waqqs, Uthman

b. Affn, Zubayr b. al-Awwm, Abd al-

Stages of Dawah:

Private dawah.

Open dawah with the tongue.

Open dawah along with physical confrontation to a specific group.

Open dawah to all without any confrontation.

Open dawah along with physical confrontation to all who oppose it.

Amr b. Abasah, who narrates, I knew

in the days of Jahilliyah that mankind

was upon misguidance and they were

worshipping idols. So I heard that a man

in Makkah was saying (something else),

went to him, found him hiding (i.e., not

apparent) from his people. I was gentle

and managed to enter in upon him, and

asked him:

What are you?

He replied, A nabi.

I said, And what is a Nabi?

Allah has sent me.

With what?

To fulfill the ties of kinship, and to break

idols, and that Allah be unified and no

partners associated with him.

Who is with you?

A freeman and a slave.

So I desired to help him, but the Prophet

(SalAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam)

responded, You will not be able to do so

right now. Do you not see my status and

the status of the people? But go back

home, and when you hear that I have

become known then come to me.

And when Amr heard of the Prophet

Amir YunasNabi's awrah never exposed. carrying rocks,using izaal (underwear on shoulder to protect from heat of rock. nabi asked to do that, and he fell unconscious. then said, . opposition tactics:1. get Abu Talib to intervene (gentle request)2. delegation to Abu Talib - Abu Lahab/Abu Jahlthreatening- if you don't stop nephew, can't gurantee to remain in office. (protection of nabiwas tribalism and honor can't kill fellow member)He talks to Nabi cuz political position threatened.talked to nabi."Don't see the sun outside? Wallah I'm not capable of leaving message more than you are able to light a fire from it. "Do as you please, I will never get in yourway again. (kept his word till end)." . But were I weren't afraid of people criticizing,I would have accepted this religion. Abu Talib was a legend/giant, inherited from AbdulMutallib.abu jahl - "you going to leave legacy ofabdulmuttalib." Nabi so emotional, that he said, "i'm going to ask Allah for forgivenesstill Allah stop me." He didn't wait for Allah's permission.

Question: Why did the early

immigrants return? Response:

Rumors that the Makkans had

converted.

Basis of rumor?

CONCLUSION OF SURAH AL-NAJM

Nay, is he not acquainted with what is

in the Books of Moses, And of Abraham

who fulfilled his engagements? Namely,

that no bearer of burdens can bear the

burden of another, and that man can

have nothing but what he strives for, for

the fruit of his striving will soon come

in sight, Then will he be rewarded with

a reward complete. And indeed to thy

Lord is the final Goal. For He it is Who

granteth Laughter and Tears; And He it

is Who granteth Death and Life; And He

did create (everything) in pairs,-male

and female, From a seed when lodged

(in its place); And that He hath

promised a Second Creation (Raising of

the Dead); And it is He Who giveth

wealth and satisfaction; And it is He

Who is the Lord of Sirius (the Mighty

Star); And it is He Who destroyed the

(powerful) ancient 'Ad (people), And

the Thamud, for He did not cause them

to remain. And before them, the people

of Noah, for that they were (all) most

unjust and most insolent transgressors,

And He destroyed the Overthrown

Cities (of Sodom and Gomorrah). So

that (ruins unknown) have covered

them up. Then which of the Signs of thy

Lord, (O man,) wilt thou dispute about?

This is a Warner, of the (likes of the)

Warners of old! The (Judgment) ever

approaching, draws nigh: None but Allah

can lay it bare. Do ye then marvel at

this recital? And will ye laugh and not

weep, Wasting your time in vanities? But

rather, fall ye down in prostration to

God, and adore (Him)!

IBN ABBSS REPORT IN AL-

BUKHR

Name given by Orientalist scholars

Incident not reported in any of the Six Books, or in Ibn Isq:

Have you not seen al-Lt, and al-Uzz? And the third of them, Mant? These are the pious idols, and their intercession is indeed worthy of being hoped for.

Two versions of the incident

Recited by Prophet (SAAWS) himself

Recited by Shayn

Considered weak by Ibn Kathr, Qai Iyaad, al-Albn.

Second version considered authentic by Ibn ajr and Ibn Taymiyyah.

APPEARS TO BE WEAK FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

First version contradicts our theology.

No narration from a Companion...

No authentic book of adth mentions these details

Version of al-Bukhr self-explanatory

Of the strongest proofs: context of the verses.

Amir YunasConversion of Hamza & UmarUmar felt 1st sympathy for Islam in 2nd immigration to habasha - Umm Abdullah packing for habasha. She was upset w/torture "Has it reached that level?" "Yes, even worse". "May Allah be with you." she told her husband, "Wallah, his fathers donkey will accept islam before him."

Musnad Ahmed - "Umar listening to Nabi recite at Haqqah. "I began to be amazed by beauty of Quran. . . 1st time Islam entered his heart.

Jamil ibn Mu'ammar - gossiper. Umar went straight to him and told him. muslims prayed publically after umar. izza of islam rose until his death.

The Boycott

PRELUDE:

Makkans felt the power of Islam rising, threat increased, especially

through conversions of:- amza b. Abd al-Mualib

- Umar b. al-Khab

IBN MASD SAID, WE HAVE EVER-REMAINED IN HONOR AFTER UMAR CONVERTED TO ISLAM; WE WERE NOT ABLE TO PRAY IN THE HARAM UNTIL UMAR ACCEPTED ISLAM. THEN, AFTER HE ACCEPTED ISLAM, HE FOUGHT THEM UNTIL THEY ALLOWED US TO PRAY.

The Boycott

Demand to hand over the Prophet (SAAWS)

Agreement to enact social boycott upon the Ban Hshim

Boycott lasted for 2-3 years

Benefits

Patience and sacrifice of Muslims.

Amazing to see the strong ties of kinship amongst the Banu Hshim.

Each society has people who are evil and others who are good.

To you alone I complain my weakness, my

scarcity of resources, and the humiliation I have

been subjected to by the people. O Most

Merciful of those who have mercy! You are the

Lord of the weak, and You are my Lord too. To

whom have you entrusted me? To a distant

person who receives me with hostility? Or to

an enemy to whom you have granted authority

over my affair? But as long as You are not angry

with me, I do not care, except that Your favour

is a more expansive relief to me. I seek refuge

in the light of Your Face by which all darkness is

dispelled and every affair of this world and the

next is set right, lest Your anger or Your

displeasure descends upon me. Yours is the

right to reproach until You are pleased.

The Treaties of Aqabah

PRE- AQABAH ATTEMPTSThe Prophet (SAAWS) would go from tribe to

tribe, and explain to them the teachings of

Islam. He would then say, Who will take me to

your people, for verily the Quraysh have

prevented me from spreading the speech of my

Lord. O tribe of so-and-so, I am the messenger

of Allah to you. He has commanded that you

worship Him alone, and not associate partners

with Him, and that you leave all that you

worshipped besides Him. And He has

commanded you that you believe in me, and

help me so that I can call others to that which

Allah has commanded me to And he would

also proclaim, O Mankind, say la ilaaha illa

Allah, you will be succesful.

O MANKIND, SAY LA ILAAHA ILLA ALLAH, YOU WILL BE SUCCESFUL.

The First Treaty of AqabahThe composition of the city of Yathrib:

In the 11th year of the prophethood, six

people from the Khazraj sat with the Prophet

(SAAWS). In the 12th year of the

prophethood, ten men from the Khazraj and 2

from the Aws met with the Prophet (SAAWS)

at a place known as Aqabah.

The First Treaty:

Ubadah ibn as-Samit, who was one of those

who took this covenant, narrated, The

Prophet (*) said to us that we should make a

covenant with him not to commit shirk, or

steal, or fornicate, or kill our children, or bring

forth any evil openly, or disobey him in any

good. And whoever did so, his rewards would

be with Allah, and whoever did anything, and

was covered up by Allah, would be left to Allah;

if He willed he would punish him and if not he

would forgive him. So we all gave him this

oath.

16.And whoever does not know the explanation of a hadeeth and (whose]

intellect [does not have the capacity] to make him understand it, then that

would be sufficient (i.e., to just merely affirm the ahaadeeth and have faith in

them] since [everything from the religion] has been perfected for him. And it is

necessary for him to have faith in it and to submit to it, such as the hadeeth of

the truthful, the believed and whatever is similar to it in the matter of al-Qadar

17.And also like the ahaadeeth regarding the Ruyah (the Believers seeing of

Allaah in the Hereafter), all of them, even if they disagree with peoples

hearing and [even] if the one who is listening to them feels repelled by and is

averse to them.

18.Certainly, it is obligatory upon him to have faith in them and not to reject a

single word from them nor from other [such] Ahaadeeth, which have been

reported by reliable, trustworthy narrators.


IlmWeek Page 25

19.And that he does not argue with anyone, nor dispute and nor should he learn

[about how to make] argumentation [in such matters]

20.For indeed, (indulging in) theological rhetoric (kalaam) in the matter of

Qadar, the Ruyah, the Quraan and other such issues are among the ways

that are detested and which are forbidden

21.The one Who does so, even if he reaches the truth with his words, is not

from Ahlus-Sunnah, until he abandons (using) thismode of argumentation,

[and until he] submits and believes in the aathaar (the Prophetic Narrations

and those of the Companions


IlmWeek Page 26

22.And the Quraan is the Word of Allaah. It is not created . And he

should not be too weak to declare it is not created and that the Word

of Allaah is not (something) distinct and separate from Him (i.e., an

entity in itself] and that not a single thing from it is created

23.And beware of argumentation with the one who innovates in this

matter and says that his recitation of the Quraan is created and other

such claims

24.And whoever hesitates in this matter and says, I do not know

whether it is created or not created. It is but the Word of Allah. Then

he is a person of innovation and he is just like the one who says, It is

created- Indeed it is the Word of Allaah and it is not created.


IlmWeek Page 27

25.To have faith in the Ruyah (that Allaah will be seen) on the Day of

Judgement has been reported from the Prophet (swallallahu alaihi wasallam)

in the authentic ahaadeeth

26.And that the Prophet (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) saw his Lord since this

has been transmitted from the Messenger of Allaah (swallallahu alaihi

wasallam) and is correct and authentic

27.And the hadeeth, in our estimation, is to be taken by its apparent meaning

(alaa dhaahirihi), as it has come from the Prophet (swallallahu alaihi

wasallam). And indulging in theological rhetoric with respect to it is an

innovation. But we have faith in it as it came, upon its apparent meaning and

we do not dispute with anyone regarding it


IlmWeek Page 28

28.And having faith in the Balance [the Weighing] on the Day of Judgement just

as it has come [to us in the hadeeth], A Servant will be weighed on the Day

of Judgement and he will not be equal in weight to the wing of a fly

29.And the actions of the servants will be weighed just as has been reported in

the narration. To have faith in it and to attest to its truthfulness and to turn

away from whoever rejects that and to abandon argumentation with him

30.And that Allaah, (the Blessed and Exalted] , will speak to the servants on the

Day of Judgement, without there being a translator between Him and them, to

have faith in this and to attest to its truthfulness


IlmWeek Page 29

31.To have faith in the Hawd (the Pool) and that there is a pool for the

Messenger of Allaah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) on the Day of Judgement.

His ummah will come to it [to drink] and its width is equal to the distance

traveled in a month. Its drinking vessels equaling the number of stars in the

sky [and this is] in accordance with the narrations that are authentic in this

regard, from more than one aspect


IlmWeek Page 30

32.To have faith in the Punishment of the Grave and that this Ummah will be put

to trial in their graves and will be questioned about Eeman Islaam. About who

is his Lord? Who is his Prophet?

33.And that Munkar and Nakeer will come to him, [all of that] in whatever way

Allah wills and in whatever way He desires. To have faith in that and to attest

to its truthfulness

34.To have faith in the Intercession of the Prophet (swallallahu alaihi wasallam)

and [to have faith] that some people will be brought out of the Fire after they

have been burnt therein and reduced to charcoal. [That] it will be ordered for

them to be placed in a river by the door of Paradise, as has been reported in

the narration, (all of that] however Allaah wills and in whatever way Allaah

wills. Indeed, it is to have faith in it and to attest to its truthfulness attest to its

truthfulness


IlmWeek Page 31

35.To have faith that the Maseehud-Dajjaal is to come, there being written

between his eyes, Kaafir. And [to have faith] in the ahaadeeth which have

come [to us] regarding him. And to have faith that that will happen

36.And [to have faith] that Eesaa [Ibn Maryam] will descend and will kill him at

the gate of Ludd


IlmWeek Page 32

37.And that faith consists of [both] speech and action, it increases and

decreases as has been reported in the narration The most complete of the

believers with respect to faith is the best of them in his manners

38.And whoever abandons the prayer then he has disbelieved. There is nothing

from among the actions, the abandonment of

39.Which constitutes disbelief except for the prayer. Whoever abandons it is a

disbeliever arid Allaah has made killing him permissible


IlmWeek Page 33

40.And the best of this ummah after its Prophet (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) is

Aboo Bakr as-Siddeeq then Uthmaan Ibn aI-Khattaab then Uthrnaan ibn

Affaan

41.We give precedence to those three just as the Companions of the

Messenger of Allaah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) gave precedence to them.

They [the Companions] never differed in that

42.Then after those three, the five Companions of the shoora: Alee ibn Abee

Taalib, az-Zubair, Talhah, Abdur- Rahmaan ibn Awf and Sad ibn Abee

Waqqaas , each of them was fitting and appropriate for khilaafah and each of

them was an Imaam (leader)

43.In this regard we take the hadeeth of Ibn Umar , We used to consider, while

the Messenger of Allaah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) was alive and his

Companions widespread: Aboo Bakr [to be first], then Umar, then Uthmaan -

and then we remained quiet.


IlmWeek Page 34

44.Then after the five companions of the shooraa are the people who fought in

Badr from among the Muhaajiroon. And then those who fought in Badr from

among the Ansaar, from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah

(swallallahu alaihi wasallam). [each ones rank is] according to his migration

and precedence [in the religion]

45.Then the most superior of mankind after these: the Companions of the

Messenger of Allaah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam), the generation in which he

was sent. Everyone who accompanied him, whether for a year, a month, a

day, an hour or (just merely] saw him, then he is from among his

Companions. His companionship is according to the extent to which he

accompanied him, [and to the extent to which] he had precedence in being

with him, heard from him and looked at him


IlmWeek Page 35

46.So the closest of them in companionship to him are more excellent than the

generation, which did not see him, even if they met Allaah with all the [good]

actions. Despite that, those who accompanied the Prophet (swallallahu alaihi

wasallam), saw him and heard from him [are superior]

47.And whoever saw him with his eyes, and believed in him, even if for an hour,

is more excellent, on account of this companionship [with the Prophet

(swallallahu alaihi wasallam)], than the Taabieen, even if they (the Taabieen]

did every action of goodness


IlmWeek Page 36

48.And hearing and obeying the leaders (aimmah] and the Ameer ul-

Mumineen, whether righteous or sinful, from among those who come into

power with the khilaafah and with respect to whom the people have agreed

and united themselves and are pleased with him

49.And also (hearing and obeying the one] who fought against the people with

the sword (i.e. conquered them] until he became the khaleefah and was

named the Ameerul-Mumineen


IlmWeek Page 37

50.Participation in battles along with the leaders [umaraa], be they righteous or

sinful, is an everlasting affair up [i.e. always operative] until the Day of

Judgement. It is never to be abandoned. (Likewise] the division of the spoils

of war anappointing the rulers [aimmah] to establish the prescribed

punishments (hudood) are [both) everlasting. It is not permissible for anyone

to rebuke them or to contend with them [i.e. the rulers]

51.Also, handing over the charity to them (the Rulers] is permissible and always

operative (in effect]. Whoever gives the charity to them then that will suffice

him [i.e., his obligation will have been fulfilled], whether righteous or sinful


IlmWeek Page 38

52.And performing the Jumuah prayer behind him (the Ruler] and behind

whomever he appoints is (a) permissible and perfect [act] and (consists of]

two rakahs. Whoever repeats them (after praying behind him] is an innovator,

one who abandons the narrations and an opposer of the Sunnah. He receives

nothing [of reward) from the excellence of his [attendance of] the Jumuah

prayer, if he does not accept and hold that prayer is to be observed behind

the leaders, whomever they may be, the righteous amongstthem and the

sinful amongst them

53.So the Sunnah is that he prayers two rakahs with them. [Whoever repeats

them is an innovator] and that he acknowledges that they are perfect and

complete, not having any doubt in his heart regarding that


IlmWeek Page 39

54.And whoever revolts against a leader from among the leaders of the

Muslims, after the people had agreed upon him and united themselves behind

him, after they had affirmed the khilaafah for him, in whatever way this

khilaafah may have been, by their pleasure and acceptance or by (his] force

and domination [over them], then this revolter has disobeyed the Muslims,

and has contradicted the narrations of the Messenger of Allaah (swallallahu

alaihi wasallam). And if the one who revolted against the ruler died he would

have died the death of ignorance

55.And the killing of the one in power is not lawful, and nor is it permissible for

anyone amongst the people to revolt against him. Whoever does that is an

innovator, (and is] upon other than the Sunnah and the [correct] path


IlmWeek Page 40

56.Fighting against the thieves and the revolters (khawaarij) is permissible. That is, when they set upon a man with respect to his person and his wealth. It is then permissible for him to fight (and defend] himself and his property and to repel [the thieves and the revolters] from them both [i.e. himself and his property] with everything that is within his capacity

57.But it is not permissible for him, when they depart from him or abandon him, that he seeks them (i.e. to find them]. Nor should he follow their tracks and this is not [permissible] for anyone other than the Imaam or those charged with authority over the Muslims

58.It is only for him to defend himself in his own place and he should intend, by his striving against them, that he will not kill anyone. But if he kills him whilst defending himself in the battle, then Allaah will make the one killed far removed [from Himself and from any goodness]. And if he is killed in that state, whilst he is defending himself and his property, then I hope that it is martyrdom for him, as has occurred in the hadeeth

59.And all of the narrations in this regard have ordered with fighting him but did not order killing him, nor pursuing him and nor finishing him off should he fall to the ground or become wounded

60.And if he took him as a captive he should not kill him and should not carry out the prescribed punishment against him, but rather, he should raise his matter to whomever Allaah has appointed and given authority so that he may judge in the matter

61.And we do not testify for anyone from among the people of the qiblah, on account of an action that he has done, that he is in Paradise or in Hell-Fire. We have hope for the righteous one and we fear for him and we fear for the evil and sinful person and we hope in the mercy of Allaah for him


IlmWeek Page 41

62.And whoever meets Allaah with a sin, which would necessitate the Fire for

him, having repented, not returning back to it and [not] being insistent upon it

then Allaah, [the Mighty and Magnificent] will turn to him (inforgiveness). And

63.Allaah accepts 71 repentance from His servants and forgives the evil actions

64. And whoever meets Him after having had the prescribed punishment meted

out to him for that [particular] sin in this world, then that would be its expiation

as occurs in thenarration from the Messenger of Allaah (swallallahu alaihi

wasallam)

65.And whoever meets him having persisted upon, and not repented from the

sins which necessitate punishment, then his affair is with Allaah [the Mighty

and Magnificent] if He wills He will punish Him and if He wills He will forgive

him

66.And whoever meets Him as a disbeliever, He will punish him and will not

forgive him


IlmWeek Page 42

67.And stoning to death [which is true and correct] is the

rightful due of the one who has fortified [himself/herself with

marriage] but fornicates, either when he/she admits [to this

act] or when the evidence is established against him/her


IlmWeek Page 43

68.And whoever disparages and degrades a single one of the Companions of

the Messenger of Allaah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) or dislikes him on

account of something that occurred from him, or mentions his shortcomings,

then he is an innovator

69.[He remains as such] until he asks for Allaahs mercy for them, all of them

and [until] his heart is sincere and good- natured towards them


IlmWeek Page 44

70.And hypocrisy - it is disbelief, that a person disbelieves in Allaah and

worships other than Him [inwardly], [but] he manifests lslaam openly such as

the hypocrites in the time of the Messenger of Allaah (swallallahu alaihi

wasallam)

71.And his (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) saying, in whomsoever there are three

(characteristics I he is a hypocrite is an intensification [in expression] we

report it as it has come and we do not explain it. And [likewise] his saying, Do

not become disbelievers after me, [astray] striking the necks of each

other.And, When two Muslims meet with their swords then [both]the killer

and the killed are in the Fire.And, Cursing a Muslim is wickedness and

fighting against him is disbelief. And, Whoever says to his brother, 0

Disbeliever, then it returns back to one of them. And, It is disbelief in Allaah,

the one who denies his kinship, even if it is insignificant (i.e. remote].And

other ahaadeeth such as these, among those which have been authenticated

and preserved.


IlmWeek Page 45

72.We submit to it, even if we do not know its explanation. We

do not talk about it. We do not argue about it. And we do not

explain these ahaadeeth except with the like of what they

[the ahaadeeth] have come with. We do not reject them

except with the best amongst them.


IlmWeek Page 46

73.And Paradise and Hell-Fire are two created things. They have [already] been

created as has come from theMessenger (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) [in the

hadeeth], I entered Paradise and I saw a castleAnd, I saw the Pool

(Kawthur) ...And, I looked into Hell-Fire and I saw that most of its inhabitants

were women.And, I looked into the Fire and 1 saw such and such

74.So whoever claims that they [Paradise and Hell-Fire] are not created then he

is a denier of the Quraan and the ahaadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah

(swallallahu alaihi wasallam) and 1 do not consider that be believes in

Paradise and Hell-Fire

75.And whoever dies from among the people of the qiblah as a muwahhid (one

testifying to the unity and uniqueness of Allaah in His Lordship His right of

worship and in His Names and Attributes) then prayer is performed over him

and forgiveness is sought for him

76.Seeking forgiveness is not to be withheld from him [i.e. it should not be

abandoned for him] and we do not abandon Praying over him on account of a

sin which he committed, regardless of whether it is a small or a big sin. His

affair is with Allaah, the Mighty, the Sublime

Part TwoTHE SUNNAH UPON WHICH THE MESSENGER * DIED

IlmWeek Page 47

Abul-Husain Muhammad ibn Abee Yalaa said: Al-Mubaarak informed us,

died is:

77.Seeking forgiveness is not to be withheld from him [i.e. it should not be

abandoned for him] and we do not abandon Praying over him on account of a

sin which he committed, regardless of whether it is a small or a big sin. His

affair is with Allaah, the Mighty, the Sublime

heart of His Prophet Muhammad *. It is not created, in whatever fashion it

Part Two THE SUNNAH UPON WHICH THE MESSENGER * DIED

IlmWeek Page 50

86.That we do not set out [in revolt] against the Rulers with the sword, even

if they are unjust and oppressive.

disbeliever even if they commit the major sins.

88. Refraining from [talking about] whatever occurred between the

89.That the best of mankind after the Messenger of Allaah are: Aboo Bakr,

Umar, Uthmaan, and Ali, the nephew of the Messenger of Allaah *.

90.Asking for Allaahs mercy for all of the Companions of the Messenger of

Allaah *, and also for his * offspring, his wives and his kinship through

abandoning it is going astray.

92.That he confirms everything that the Prophets and Messengers came

with and that he believes in it
